1. Deciding Wall Colors

Apart from your personal choice, lighting and room size plays an important role in deciding the right wall colors for your living room. If you have a small room with not much of natural light or have light yellow or colored lighting, it is good to go with cool colors like light blue, white , cream , beige etc. In case, you have well lit room, dark shades like bottle green, dark blue, red, grey are better choices as they make the room look inviting and warm.

2. Placing Furniture

Before deciding upon the furniture, you should be clear on what you want to do in the room. Will you be hosting a lot of parties there, will kids play around, will watch TV or want a place to display books or awards. The function of the room is the critical element in deciding the furniture for it. Moreover, take care if you have a natural focal point in the room like a view or some ornamental décor. In such cases, you should plan your furniture around it. If you are planning to buy new furniture like sofa, centre table, side tables or pouffe then make sure, you have the room dimensions handy as it might be possible that the furniture piece won't fit the space well. You can also use our tool for this purpose as all displayed furniture choices fit in the mention room area. While setting furniture ensure that the space doesn't look crammed and have only the necessary pieces.
Pro tip : Don't block the entryway and leave enough space to walk around the space.

3. Picking the Perfect Lighting Options

Don't go for single lighting source for the living room. Instead, use multiple sources and blend them together. You can play with bulbs, tubes, table lamps, side lamps and scones to create a universal look. If you place a table lamp in a corner than place another one in the other to balance it out. Plus, you can also place tall lamps in the corners for a glamorous look.
If you are planning to watch TV in the room then ensure that there is not too much lighting over the screen to make it glare. You can also use dimmers in the room to control the brightness of light in the room. Dimly lit spaces not only save electricity but also are also good choices if you host parties.
